Operating the Dishwasher

Before you begin

Using the Touch Pad Controls

Your new dishwasher is equipped with the latest
control technology featuring CLEARTOUCH™
activation.
In order to activate a button, place the entire
fingertip over the desired button and hold it in
place for three seconds. This three-second hold
is intended to prevent accidental activation.

Selecting a Language

Before using your new dishwasher you must
select a language.
Open the door far enough to expose the controls
and press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.
The first time you turn on the dishwasher, the
language selection screen (see above,
Dishwasher Controls, Buttons and Display)
will appear.
The available languages are:
1. AE = American English
2. CF = Canadian French
3. MS = Mexican Spanish
The language abbreviation “AE” will be flashing. If
you want a different language press – or + until
the desired language flashes.
Save the selected language by pressing the
MENU/OK button.
If you select the wrong language:
1. Press the MENU/OK button seven times to
activate the language selection screen
2. If you change to a different language, press
the MENU/OK to save.
3. In the Options Step Down Menu you can
return to the main menu at any time by
pressing the START button.
See the Selecting Dishwasher Options section
of this manual for more information on selecting a
language.

Selecting a Wash Cycle

After adding detergent and rinse aid as explained
in the Adding Detergent and Rinse Aid section
of this manual, turn the dishwasher on by
pressing the ON/OFF button. The display will
indicate the default cycle, “Auto Wash”.
If you did not add rinse aid, the display will
indicate “Refill Rinse Aid.” To bypass this screen
press the MENU/OK button.
To select a different cycle press + or – until the
display shows the desired wash cycle.
Always make sure your dishware is dishwasher
safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of
this manual for guidance.

Wash Cycle Selections

Wash cycles accessible from this menu include:
Auto Super Wash
Cleans items having baked–on or hard dried-on
food soils. These items may require soaking or
hand scouring.
Auto Wash (default cycle)
Cleans large loads with loosely attached food
soils.
Auto Delicate Wash
Cleans delicate or heirloom dishware and
silverware, or other special items. Hand washing
may be the best for such items.

wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and
desert dishes that may need to be re-used at the
same event.
Rinse and Hold
Allows you to rinse the food soil off of a partial
load and hold them in the dishwasher until there
is a full load.
